On Fedora 19, using their current kernel on my MacBook Air 6,2:
seanvk@prairie ~$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64
root=UUID=20b0ee04-7a6e-4e24-8fe5-55185347f43d ro rootflags=subvol=root rd.md=0
rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-

Fedora 19's kernel boots fine out of the box and it is based on 3.10. I
have Fedora 19 running on my Mac Book Air 6,2 and the primary issue is
not booting but rather suspend resume with the back light.

This issue is confirmed as well on Fedora 19 with a Macbook Air 6,2. I
have filed a bug upstream based on this information and others.
